Yes, I Love Brussel Sprouts!

This is pork chops with polenta and brussel sprouts on the side. I actually just wanted to give the recipe for the brussel sprouts. They were the best I've ever had! I have NEVER liked brussel sprouts and was quite surprised when I scarfed these down.

Heat olive oil and butter in medium sized frying pan. Add garlic and cook for around 3 minutes. Remove the garlic from the pan. Add sprouts, cut side down. Add salt & pepper to your liking. Top with garlic and cover. Cook for 20 minutes or until the sprouts are tender. These are GREAT!

I love brussel sprouts too but my husband is a brussel sprout hater (I guess there are two types of people in this world). After the comment that these are the best you have ever had, I must make these for him and see what he thinks. Thanks for the recipe. I'll let you know how it goes!

I rarely cook them from fresh though, and find the frozen ones much more convenient. I put them into a pan (frozen) add a drop of boiling water and cook on a medium heat for 5 mins. Then I drain them and add butter, salt and pepper....yummers!
